The import of continuously shaped non-coniferous wood to Germany is forecasted to decrease gradually from 86.615 million kg in 2024 to 85.189 million kg in 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood slightly higher than the forecasted 2024 figure, indicating a steady decline over the upcoming years.
Year-on-year percentage variations reveal a consistent downward trend. From 2024 to 2025, the decrease is modest, and it follows a similar declining pattern through to 2028. The compound annual growth rate over these five years underscores a persistent shrinkage in import volumes, pointing towards a systematic decline.
Looking ahead, future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of sustainability initiatives on wood imports.
- Possible shifts to alternative materials affecting demand.
- Economic factors in Germany influencing import requirements.
